Past Player of the Week – Thomas Blinman

Tom Blinman was a premiership player in the first six years of the SA Football Association – with South Adelaide in 1877 and then in the next five years with Norwood.

“A reliable half-back with a good turn of speed, excellent stamina and good kick who played 12 games in 1878.”  That is how he is described in 1878: Norwood’s first year, by B. Whimpress, research by M. Coligan. (Norwood Football Club History Group, 2013)
